One-Week Intensive: November 8–14, 2026 | $99 (Regularly $199)

For anyone who wants to get good at kettlebells, whether you're training for yourself or planning to continue with the Level 2 Kettlebell Fitness Trainer Certification.

This is one week dedicated to the six foundational skills of the Pro Kettlebell Method: the kettlebell pendulum swing, rack position, swing clean, presses & alignment, snatch, and jerk. Master these six foundational skills and the principles behind them, and you'll be able to evaluate any kettlebell exercise that comes your way and understand how best to approach it.

Save $800 compared to individual enrollment!

For anyone ready to take their kettlebell skills to the professional level, whether you want to train clients, teach group classes, or specialize in kettlebell sport coaching.

The Professional Kettlebell Trainer Program (PKTP) is our complete professional certification pathway, built around the Pro Kettlebell Method. We've organized years of teaching experience and our extensive training library into three progressive certification levels, combining guided independent learning, interactive lessons, live workshops, individualized feedback, and practical assessments.

Level 1: Core-6 Certification — November 8–14, 2026. Includes the one-week intensive described above.

Level 2: Kettlebell Fitness Trainer Certification

Six-Week Program: January 17–February 27, 2027

Required: One matching pair of lightweight and medium weight kettlebells, plus one heavy.

Level 2 builds on your Core-6 foundation, starting with individual assessment and feedback before moving into:

• Advanced technique and adaptations for different body types.
• Studying the negotiables and non-negotiables in kettlebell technique.
• Designing effective workouts and training programs for individuals and groups.
• Teaching methods, practice teaching, and professional trainer best practices.
  
  

Includes live workshops, individualized video feedback, group Zoom workouts, interactive learning, practical assessments, and professional training resources.

Certification requirements include a five-minute snatch set and demonstrating your ability to teach the Core-6 skills to a student of your choice. The emphasis is on technical skill and effective instruction rather than physical strength alone.

Level 3: Kettlebell Sport Coach Certification

Eight-Week Sport Cycle & Training Intensive: March 6–April 30, 2027

Required: Set of matching pairs of 8kg, 12kg, 16kg and 20kg kettlebells. Heavier is optional.

Take your training and coaching abilities deeper into competitive kettlebell sport. Learn advanced sport-specific techniques, programming, and athlete coaching through:

• Private coaching and individualized instruction.
• Regular group training on Zoom or in person.
• Friday progress check-ins and technical feedback.
• Sport-specific training methods and methodologies.
• Understanding competitions and ranking tables.
• A challenging practical kettlebell sport performance test.
• Resources for running a kettlebell club.
• Templates and sample training programs to keep.
• Kettlebell Sport Training Manual.
  
  

Each level builds on the previous one, ensuring you demonstrate the foundational skills before advancing into professional teaching and sport coaching.
